Update: It turns out our skepticism was warranted. Gizmodo has confirmed it's a fake. The site was created by digital agency OKFocus with the intention of playing into "people's assumptions about Donda." We'll keep our eyes peeled for Donda Media's first real project, whatever it may be.

Well, at least we know what that something finally is. Today, Mr. West unveiled WhoDat.biz, which is—well, it's a WHOIS information service. Billed as "the Facebook of websites," you can use WhoDat to look up information on the people—the "crew," if you will—behind a given website's domain.

You'll be pleased to hear that, not only is the service free, but it works exactly as you'd expect from your typical registrar lookup. Sure, the functionality may be relatively barebones when compared with more established sites—but in our opinion, no one WHOIS service should have all that power anyhow.

Given that the Twitter and Tumblr accounts are just a few days old, we're going to take the existence of WhoDat with a grain of salt.
